Question

What is the distance between points (5,7) and (-3,4)

Answer 1

11 units is the answer

Answer 2

Answer: $8.54\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the following formula for calculate the distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

In this case you have these points:

 (5,7) and (-3,4)

So, you can identify that:

$x_2=-3\\x_1=5\\\\y_2=4\\y_1=7$

Then, you can substitute values into the formula.

Therefore, the distance between the given points is:

$d=\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(4-7)^2}\\\\d=8.54\ units$
